{"product_id":"from-anarchy-to-power-wendy-grossman-9780814731413","title":"From Anarchy to Power: The Net Comes of Age","description":"\u003cp\u003eYesterday's battles over internet turf were fought on the net itself: today's battles are fought in government committees, in Congress, on the stock exchange, and in the marketplace. What was once an experimental ground for electronic commerce is now the hottest part of our economic infrastructure.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cb\u003eFrom Anarchy to Power\u003c\/b\u003e, Wendy Grossman explores the new dispensation on the net and tackles the questions that trouble every online user: How vulnerable are the internet and world wide web to malicious cyber hackers? What are the limits of privacy online? How real is internet addiction and to what extent is the news media responsible for this phenomenon? Are women and minorities at a disadvantage in cyberspace? How is the increasing power of big business changing internet culture?\u003cbr\u003e We learn about the political economy of the internet including issues of copyright law, corporate control and cryptography legislation. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the international dimensions of the net, focusing on privacy and censorship in the United States, Europe and Canada and the hitherto ignored contributions of other countries in the development of the net. Entertaining and informative \u003cb\u003eFrom Anarchy to Power\u003c\/b\u003e is required reading for anyone who wants to know where the new digital economy is heading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Grossman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814731414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814731413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.28w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/30\/2002 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 79","brand":"Wendy Grossman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926444441855,"sku":"9780814731413","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25f15d4c-31a7-491b-b630-6950ab7954da.jpg?v=1681083117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-anarchy-to-power-wendy-grossman-9780814731413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
